No. 20 Boston College 81, North Carolina 74

Boston College has moved past its bumpy introduction to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now, the 20th-ranked Eagles are starting to look like the team everyone expected them to be in the preseason. Craig Smith scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half to help Boston College hold off North Carolina 81-74 on Wednesday night, evening its conference record after an 0-3 start and giving coach Al Skinner his 300th career victory.
